	Finally. I think I requested this game. Thank you, sporcle.

	weinspaz:	Nov 3rd, 2008 at 19:04 GMT	26 points
	After you update this one, I know it is a huge undertaking but, go for the whole House of Reps.

	estivator:	Nov 27th, 2008 at 18:23 GMT	2 points
	I know most of these are current until next year, but Obama should be removed now since he did resign. Didn't Biden as well?

	PresidentJSC:	Jan 5th, 2009 at 17:26 GMT	1 point
	Roland Burris? Or shall we wait until the Democrats block him from the Senate?

	wdcvhi:	Jan 7th, 2009 at 21:16 GMT	8 points
	Needs to be updated. John Warner (R-VA) should be replaced by Mark Warner (D-VA). Elizabeth Dole (R-NC) by Kay Hagen (D-NC). Ted Stevens (R-AK) by Mark Begich (D-AK). Gordon Smith (R-OR) by Jeff Merkley (D-OR). John Sununu (R-NH) by Jeanne Shaneen (D-NH). Wayne Allard (R-CO) by Mark Udall (D-CO). Pete Domenici (R-NM) by Tom Udall (D-NM). Norm Coleman (R-MN) by Al Franken (D-MN). Larry Craig (R-ID) by Jim Risch (R-ID). Chuck Hagel (R-NB) by Mike Johanns (R-NB). Ken Salazar (D-CO) will resign when appointed Secretary of Interior, He will by Michael Bennet (D-CO). Joe Biden (D-DE) will resign when inagurated as Vice President, He will be replaced by Ted Kaufman (D-DE). Hilary Clinton (D-NY) will resign when confirmed as Secretary of State, her replacement has not yet been formally named. Barack Obama (D-IL) has resigned to prepare to become President, Roland Burris (D-IL) was named as his replacement, however the Senate refuses to seat Burris.

	@martin, i've never googled it and can usually get all 100. It's just a matter of memorization.

	PresidentJSC:	Jan 14th, 2009 at 11:56 GMT	1 point
	Yep needs to be updated.

	MrRemy:	Jan 23rd, 2009 at 22:52 GMT	-1 points
	Definitely time to update. With Gillibrand being appointed in New York and Burris seated and Bennett seated we now have the full 100 members of the senate again.

	Jinxo:	Jan 24th, 2009 at 16:32 GMT	4 points
	Thanks for the update. :)

	swellwrench:	Jan 26th, 2009 at 09:53 GMT	4 points
	Thanks for the update, but now a bunch of states have their junior senator listed above their senior senator (AK, CO, DE, ID, MN (probably), NE, NH, NM, NC, VA). Can't imagine that's too hard to fix though. Also, Jim DeMint's first name is misspelled.

	Joe Martinez:	Jan 28th, 2009 at 05:15 GMT	-1 points
	Except neither Al Franken nor Norm Coleman have that seat, yet

	newenglander:	Jan 30th, 2009 at 12:14 GMT	-4 points
	what exactly have Lieberman and Dodd done to be so commonly guessed? Id expect the senators from the larger states to be guessed more.

	Jinxo:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 17:39 GMT	9 points
	Well, Dodd is the chairman of the Banking Commitee and was in the news quite a lot ragrding the bank bailout. And Lieberman was on the ticket along with Gore in 2000 and then endorsed McCain in 2008, so he's pretty well-known I guess.

	johnlk:	Feb 2nd, 2009 at 04:12 GMT	4 points
	Dodd also ran for president. Ah, got all 100 even though I didn't know who was replacing Salazar in Colorado - thanks, Bill Ritter, for naming someone whose name is exactly the same as another senator, but one letter shorter - got me the perfect.

	Joe Martinez:	Feb 4th, 2009 at 04:27 GMT	3 points
	Chris Dodd is pretty visible. He was in the movie "Dave" and was the the emcee at a few presidential inagurations.

	micktravis:	Feb 17th, 2009 at 09:57 GMT	3 points
	I think I got 52/100 or something the first time I tried this. After a few tries, I now have them all memorized and can usually get a perfect 100 every time. I'm sure this will come in handy some day...

	micktravis:	Feb 21st, 2009 at 18:59 GMT	10 points
	Also, I second weinspaz's request for a House of Reps quiz. 435 names in one quiz is a bit much though, so maybe break it up into census regions?

	Justin_S:	Mar 2nd, 2009 at 22:33 GMT	5 points
	Wow. After playing this maybe a dozen times, I can get a perfect 100. I'm pretty impressed with myself. When I first thought of a quiz for the House, I thought that would be way to big an undertaking, but considering I memorized the Senate so quickly, maybe the House would be a good challenge.

	Justin_S:	Mar 2nd, 2009 at 22:35 GMT	3 points
	Another good quiz would be one which divided the Senators by party rather than by state. I'm now able to name both senators from each state, but I bet if you asked me to name all the Democrats in the Senate, I wouldn't be able to.

	sweetga:	Mar 7th, 2009 at 16:59 GMT	1 point
	I am surprised Graham is so low despite his high profile during the presidential campaign, and Burris is about ten from last, which I would never think would happen considering ALL the news.

	swellwrench:	Mar 13th, 2009 at 06:05 GMT	4 points
	It's because he wasn't added until much more recently than most of the others. It's no coincidence that all the senators voted in in 2008 (or appointed in '08 or '09) are last

	JamesJamesClub:	Apr 8th, 2009 at 11:09 GMT	2 points
	I can now get to about 85. Still some who I can't seem to crowbar into my brain. I'd also love to see a House one.

	And please fix the seniority orderings I mentioned above while you're at it :)

	Babomomebeo:	May 15th, 2009 at 06:39 GMT	1 point
	1-1 and 2-15 are kind of strange benchmarks. Maybe 1-4 would be more appropriate.

	RebeccaAMax:	May 16th, 2009 at 19:06 GMT	4 points
	Specter still needs his party changed. Also, a House of Representatives game would be fun.

	Rom:	May 27th, 2009 at 22:22 GMT	5 points
	It's Al Franken

	JohnJF:	May 28th, 2009 at 01:20 GMT	3 points
	Yeah, you might as well just make it Al Franken at this point. I missed Chuck Schumer and got Kay Hagan (with my patented Godfather mnemonic device). Hm.

	RebeccaAMax:	Jun 30th, 2009 at 22:20 GMT	3 points
	it's officially Al Franken now! Coleman conceded.

	Jeremy:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 18:07 GMT	3 points
	I really wish there was a way to mix up the order of the states when taking this quiz. I've found that I automatically associate certain Senators with positions on the screen but that I can't always name the state they are from when not on Sporcle. ie. I know that Sessions and Shelby are always in the top left but it takes me a minute to remember they are from Alabama.

	swellwrench:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 06:48 GMT	2 points
	haha, I think you may have taken this quiz a few too many times...

	@Fixial: It's now ben fixed. There was a bogus `/' at the end of the URL in the link from the site's front page.

	quiztaker:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 18:06 GMT	10 points
	It was sad taking this quiz for the first time without Senator Kennedy being an answer. RIP, Senator.

	RedLIon:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 22:48 GMT	10 points
	We've lost one of the last remaining people in the Senate who actually cared about the 'common folk'...may the Lion rest in peace.

	Skydog:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 23:44 GMT	14 points
	R.I.P Senator Kennedy you were a great man
